In the tradition of “Death of a Salesman,” “The Assassination of Trotsky” and “Penn and Teller Get Killed,” “Lost on a Mountain in Maine” arrives with an on-the-nose title that serves as fair warning: Few surprises await you here. On the other hand, there’s never any doubt that things will work out Ok for Donn Fender (Luke David Blumm), the 12-year-old protagonist. Indeed, during the opening minutes of this family-friendly true-life drama, the beans aren’t merely spilled, they are tossed while director Andrew Boodhoo Kightlinger and scripter Luke Paradise (working from a same-titled memoir co-written by the real Donn Fender) give a pinky-swear promise that a happy ending looms large on the horizon.

Lost On A Mountain In Maine tells the harrowing true tale of Donn Fendler, a spirited 12-year-old boy who found himself stranded alone in the wilds of Maine for over a week in 1939. Directed by Andrew Boodhoo Kightlinger, the film recreates Donn’s fateful mountain hiking trip with his father and brother that went badly awry in the thick forest depths of Mount Katahdin.
A sudden ferocious storm separated Donn from his family on the mountain, leaving the headstrong lad to battle the unforgiving terrain and elements entirely by his lonesome as they desperately searched for any sign of the missing child across the miles of dense woodland.
Through flashbacks, we see how Don’s adventurous spirit first led him astray that day. Eager to prove his mettle, he pushed on further than advised up the summit despite gathering clouds and his father’s insisting they turn back. But Mother Nature had the final say,...
